Dreamer
The Angelcy Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Illusion feeds your lucid dreams the rain is coming
It's time to fade to simple things all hail the emptiness
So dreamer dreamer fold your wings it's time to feel blessed
And when I howl
"Honey I love you don't you know I love you I need you"
It's time to shed this naked skin the rain is coming
Illusion feeds your lucid dreams all hail the emptiness
So dreamer dreamer fold your wings it's time to feel blessed
And when I howl
"Honey I love you don't you know I love you? I need you"
And then I howl "honey I love you don't you know I love you? I don't know what am I supposed to do"
I am not here no more I am now just a shadow of your grace
You have become the face of everything I wish I had of everything I wanna have
My childhood dreams they have taken me to this dead end at you doorstep
And I've got nowhere else to go and nothing else to do ever since I laid eyes on you
In "Dreamer" by The Angelcy, the lyrics convey a sense of longing and desperation for something unattainable. The dreamer is urged to fold their wings and embrace simplicity before the rain comes. The idea of illusion feeding lucid dreams implies that the dreamer has built up an idea of something that isn't quite real. The emptiness they must hail may be the reality of the situation they find themselves in. The repetition of the chorus emphasizes the importance of seizing the moment before it is too late.
The addition of the howling in the song adds a layer of emotional rawness, with the lyrics stating the love and need for someone. The second howl denotes a point of confusion and hopelessness, unsure of how to proceed despite the love that exists. The idea of being a shadow of someone's grace speaks to an imbalance in power dynamics, with the other person having everything the dreamer desires. The reference to childhood dreams creates a sense of nostalgia, with the dead-end at the doorstep representing the idea of everything leading back to this one person. The closing line implies a sense of stagnation, where the dreamer now has nothing else to do but pine for this person.
